We are committed to providing one-stop service for steel pipe products to customers around the world.
We are committed to providing one-stop service for steel pipe products to customers around the world.
The ERW steel pipe is also known as straight joint pipe. According to the wall density, the bonded tube is categorized into typical types and thick-walled types. We can offer items with personalized wall thickness according to customers’ particular requirement with a thickness deviation of no more than 0.25 mm.With sizes between 1/2 inch and 24 inch, our ERW steel pipes go through rigorous examinations and tests, so about make sure the welding quality, external size precision, ovality, cut lengths, pipe end quality, wall density tolerance, and packaging quality are all conforming to API5L, ASTMA53, GB/T9711.1, or GB/T3091 standards. Also, we can make the item according to the standard needed by customers.

UNCOILING & FLATTENING Incoming coils are peeled and unwrapped for presentation into the flattener rolls. Flattening removes the coil set to produce a flat steel strip. |
COIL JOINING Coil ends are joined together with a butt weld to produce a continuous strip. |
EDGE TRIMMING Slitter blades and edge milling trims strip edges to provide the precise strip width required during the forming and ERW seam welding process. |
FORMING The forming process begins at the Breakdown Pass where the material is gradually bent from a flat steel strip into a rounded tube for presentation to the ERW seam welder. |

|
WELDING A high frequency electrical current flows through contact tips into the strip edges to produce the heat required for bonding the strip edges together as the material passes through the weld roll stand. |
QUALITY CONTROL Once the welding is complete, the finished pipe is visually inspected by Quality Control (QC) and, if required, Ultrasonic (UT) testing is performed to ensure the weld is defect-free. |
PIPE SIZING/STRAIGHTENING The Sizing Section squeezes the welded pipe into the precise roundness, outer diameter, and straightness tolerances specified by the customer. |
PIPE CUTTING The flying cut-off saw attaches to the pipe as it is being produced and cuts the pipe to the length specified by the customer. |

Manufacturing Process of ERW steel pipe
Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) pipe is manufactured by cold forming a flat steel strip into a rounded tube and passing it through a series of forming rollers to obtain a longitudinal seam. The two edges are then simultaneously heated with a high frequency current and squeezed together to form a bond. The longitudinal ERW seam does not require filler metal.
Packing: Plastic plugs in both ends, Hexagonal bundles of max. 2,000kg with several steel strips, Two tags on each bundle, Wrapped in waterproof paper, PVC sleeve, and sackcloth with several steel strips, Plastic caps.
Test: Chemical Component Analysis, Mechanical Properties (Ultimate tensile strength, Yield strength, Elongation), Technical Properties (Flattening Test, Bending Test, Hardness Test, Impact Test), Exterior Size Inspection, Hydrostatic Test, NDT TEST ( ET TEST, RT TEST, UT TEST)
